Amid an elbow injury that has forced him to miss the start of the season, Gerrit Cole is "unlikely" to come off the injured list when he is eligible on May 27, per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal.
"He's been throwing off flat ground and the expectation is that he will get it off a mound sometime next week," Rosenthal said. "Keep in mind, he cannot come off the injured list until May 27, and it's probably unlikely he'll be ready at that time."
